In my opinion the ETM is a more reliable mag because it is built as a 8 round mag not a 7 red made to fit 8.

Is there a problem with the Wilson 7 round basic stainless magazine in a Colt 5" government? $20 sounds good to me. What is the benefit of the pad on the end of the other mags? Is a Wilson 8 round mag a problem in a 5" Colt government?
Why does Colt not sell magazines at retail stores??? The two that came with my 45 have never had an issue. First 1911 a couple of months ago Q's, love the gun. I still wipe off all fingerprints after my daily inspection. |

Colt does not make their own mags, currently Checkmate does and they are good also. The pad on the bottom is usually used with a magwell to allow one to fully seat it. |

Thanks. I can't find any at local retail stores at this time. I have to have packages held at UPS or FedEx as they get stolen off of my front porch. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The pad was originally used to protect the mag during competition when it is dropped onto a hard surface during action shooting. I bent a few Colt mag baseplates before installing pads back in the '80s. They do help load a mag when the 1911 has an extended mag well. |

When I started using ETM mags it has not had the issue since. I have 47D's, CMC Powermags, Kimber Pro mags, ETM's, and the mags that come with SA pistols I think MecGar. Lets not forget the piles of gunshow mags I picked up for cheap cheap. |
